  1. Hi again John, I do remember those vehicles very well as we used to use them to hide in and around while training in Pontrilas The last 25 pounder was there up until the middle 90's I asked if I could have it they said yes at first but them quatermasters changed and that was the last I heard about it All the best Bob
  2. Hi John, I remember all those vehicles when I was at the camp in the early 70's but they were nearly all taken away before the end of the 70's. I wasn't an enthusiast then and didn't take much notice when they disappeared the last vehicle there was one of the 25 pounders which was still there in the late 90's but I expect that has gone too now Bob
  3. Hi, here are a couple of photos of Ferret 01DA20, I visited it a couple of months ago in Cirencester and had a chat with a visiting PSI there, he told me that someone was going to look at restoring it. I also had a good look at it, the turret was welded up but you could see in some holes down into it and it looks in a pretty bad state, some relatives of mine who live nearby told me that it is still on its plinth on the front gate, so nothing has been done with it up to now.
  4. Ferret MkII 01 DA 20 not yet on the Daimler Ferret Register. I think this one could do with a bit of work.
  5. That wierd thing is an old british army sleeping bag inner, I have a cuple of them still. They were the sleeping bags issued before we had the green maggots Bob
  6. I took photos of the vehicles a few years ago, if you want a copy let me have your e mail address I dont know how to send them on this site. Bob
  7. Hi Mark, I was a member of 95 Commando Light Regiment, the sister regiment to 29 CDO. I was travelling through Hereford last year when I noticed a vehicle pulling a trailer , when I looked into the trailer I saw a 105 stripped down ready for refurbishing. He was heading to the same place as me so I looked in and swapped a few war stories. So there could be a 105 somewhere in the Herefordshire area. The other place I saw one last year was outside the Royal Marine museum in Bournemouth. I hope this was any help to you. Bob
  8. Hi Simon I have photos of serving ferrets in cyprus, one of those ferrets is now on the ranges in the UK. If you send me an e mail address I will send them to you as I dont know how to send them using this method. Bob Podesta
  9. Hi Mick I have an in service ferret picture of ferret no 33BA65 in Cyprus was this one of yours. Bob
  10. Hi mick my father served with the 14/20th at that time, the 10th hussars took over Wavel Barracks afterwe left. If I remember rightly all the vehicles thats all the Ferrets and Saladins were being sold off to the Libian army. I remember them being paraded and looked over by the arabs as the British army was preparing to pull out of Libya at that time. Thats the year before I joined up. Bob Bob
